The story of a seventh month journey through Africa by the author, and about Africa's people, their culture and politics of the time. The author's wife was his travelling companion (he said she was better than any man could have been on the gruelling journey) as they drove from the Indian Ocean to the Atlantic. Lions, malaria, and earthquakes occur, but it is not simply an adventure story; Farson is more interested in the people he meets than in himself.
